jun, 19th - where we stayed....

day 862:

we stayed in a sweet cottage over the weekend in Somerset. with oaks beams, creaky stairs, a garden filled with herbs and bumblebee attracting flowers, a river and a flock of (incredibly healthy looking) chickens, it ticked all the boxes of a true, English country experience.

it also comes with a rowing boat and a suggestion of taking it down the river to the local pub and some bikes, for exploring the lanes. unfortunately, the weather stopped us from doing either but the idea of turning up at the pub in your own rowing boat, did make me smile.

How beautiful .... We are planning a house swap in the near future with our friends in Wellow (they live in an old converted barn) ... this reminds me so much of their garden ... I miss it, hopefully the swap will happen sooner than later ... Love the shot of Limi and her cousin, soooo much love !!!

Our Story

living in London, away from far-flung friends and family, this started as a daily documentary of the best bits of this incredible city and how we experience it with our two year-old daughter. throw in a healthy dose of travel, design, food and creative and you have an idea of what inspires us. now, with the arrival of our second baby girl, we are reconsidering our Shoebox apartment and how to juggle work, travel and family....

with a degree in fine art photography, I am always looking to capture what we experience in my own style (which is certainly driven by an interest in crumbling backdrops, faded tones, real people and movement.)
